As previously mentioned, pressure cooking is a "crap shoot"... put
everything in a pot, seal it and hope for the best... without ever
even once lifting the lid to make any adjustments or to check if
whether it's done cooking or not before undoing the contraption. So if
one is lucky enough to have low culinary expectations then I suppose
the time saved is important. But I honestly see no time saved
regardless, especially not where cooking beans is concerned... I mean
like who stands around for hours *constantly* staring at a pot of beans
cooking. And if someone were truely/honestly in a hurry they'd buy
canned... anyone says pressure cookers save time is a
LIAR/IDIOT-Both... yoose choose.
